Cycling

Hello and Assalamualaikum

Last week before mid semester break after tutorial the class of mass transfer, we decided to do some exercise. We went to A’Famosa Resort for cycling exercise. Rental rates for a bicycle are RM10 with a deposit RM20 for one hour. In addition, they also had bicycle for two and three people. This kind of bicycle is suitable for a family. We decide to rent two bicycles, one for each. So, the total is RM60 for two bicycles.

We cycled around A’Famosa for about 45 minutes. And after that we started to feel tired due to the hilly areas in A’Famosa. We were very excited to be able to fill our free time to exercise and at the same time take care for our health.

Does it bring health to us? Oh YES!
